Can someone explain to me...like I'm a 4 year old! why anyone would be
dumb enough to buy this crap????? Doug did! Then he bought a POWERBOAT.

Owner's comments from HunterOwners.com on Doug's 19::

"I can't sail very close to the wind. Sometimes tacking becomes
"sailing back and forth" with little progress to windward... so what
else is new, huh?"

"Beginning sailors will enjoy her simple sheets running to the cockpit.
"

"Awful build quality has plagued us and other owners. Beware and check
the forums."

"i have no other experiences on sailboats so i guess it sails pretty
well. i have no complaints."

"No way. I am very disappointed in the quality. If you look closely,
you can almost see through the fiberglass hull. Built like a cheap bath
tub. Looks nice in photos, though. Hull blisters."

"Cheap. Better go with a Catalina or an older Oday."

The boat does not point particularily well. In light winds with the
standard sail configuration , upwind performance was terrible!

And the best comment of all!!!!!!!

"It's a great small boat with everything. room for 4 to camp out on the
water. stove,storage galore,cooler space and head. did go to a
seidelmann 24.5 this year. But. still have the hunter 19."

Good work, Doug! You have a TON of credibility on boats now!!!

Doug has admitted the short comings of his boat, which don't overshadow his
enjoyment of sailing.

I bet he liked his boat almost as much as Scotty does his!

Amen!
